Grant Summary and Timeline: Since 2000, the Health Department has received Metropolitan Medical Response System (MMRS) funding from the Federal government. The MMRS program, along with State pass-through Federal funding for bioterrorism preparedness, enhances preparedness and readiness efforts to respond to mass casualty events. These effforts are in response to incidents caused by a Weapons of Mass Destruction attack, epidemic/pandemic disease outbreak, large scale Hazardous Materials (HAZMAT) incident or natural disaster. The core requirement of the MMRS program is the integration of first responders, medical treatment, public health, and emergency management components for a coordinated response to the health and medical aspects of a disaster. This year, the grant will continue to focus on a regional response within the 19-county South Central Kansas Region. The grant is non-competitive and program areas of focus coincide with previous MMRS contracts.
